family government.
Mftuy striking and tad indications,
which are open tQ tlio observation
of any thoughtful person, show that
there is among us a. widespread lack
of wise family government. Here it
is some runaway matrimonial adven-
ture; here some young girl going to
Leriuin, and in shame committing
buicidf, or' PithJ«ndl^...giqrdiiteA
J>er gomjKwtrayer; here rouft
young person rashly putting an end
to life by poison or the too-ready
pistol. Even when matters do uotgo
to the oxit-nl of crimes, in how many
homes will there he found turmoil
where there ought to he peace,bick
erings where there ought to he har
mony, unhappiness where there
‘•ught tub** the highest jay this side
of heaven.
x The reason is n »t far to seek. Tiiesi
evils, greater or smaller, come trom
the lawlessness of ungov .-rned nat.
divine revehttiou, we exercise a lov
ing, wise, firm, constant family gov
ernment.
WHAT TO TEACH BOYS.
A philosopher has Raid that true ed
ucation for boys “is to teach them
what they ought to know when they
become men.' 1 What is it they
ought to Miow, then? £}r«U to bn
genuine. No education is worth any
thing that dors not includo this. A
man had better not kuow how to re;i
lie had betttr never learn a letter
the alphabet, and he tiue and gei
mue in attention, inaction, raiher
than being learned in all the sciences
nd laugua'jcs, to he at the same

parents make is that of not b gits levon f,om childhood; to he induBtii-
liing soon enough. Many *ecm to j ons «»d self-supporting

nicans needs to be the case. It is i * cnce **» others is discraceiul. When
grievously mistaken kindness to allow j » ' ,o y ,lt4S burned these four thing?
a little ctiild to have his own way 1 "*>»*• >« has made these ideas a par
when that way conflicts with w f iaL ! «'t his being, however vounfr he mn;

time to teach a child obedience— and j ,m * ,,tt . rne(? motile of the most, iiupor-
it may he done with the uunost gens jthings h • ought to know ah mt a
ess and quiet patience—is before
he is out ol’hts mothers arms. There
wilt never be so good an opportunity
later.
The ideal family government is
based upon principle. Hence it is
steady and constant. Tho.te are fam
ilies not a few where there is some
sort of government, but it is impulsive
and spasmodic, it consists in a sharp,
almost fierce, checking up of the chil
dren, or of severe punishment meted
out to them, when their wills happen
to run counter to the parents’ desires,
or d< mauds, or even convenience.
But there is no principle in it. It
makes no account of right and wrong.
Hence it is often almost worse than
r.o control at, all. The wise and good
parent regulates his conduct toward
his children by principle, not passion.
He asks himself, “ What is the right*
oous course?” He is steady
and unswerving in his applica
tion ot these righteous princia
pies of conduct. The result is that
hi* children aie taught self-control;
they learn under this wise discipline
it* govern themselves. Hence, as
they grow up, lh*-y are ready to
obey lawful authority in the state.
Hence they are likely to be prepared
to render that obedience to God
which he demands, and of which pa
rental authority is a type.
We plead with all earnestness for
the due exercise of family govern
meat, It must bo in dependence
upon divine strength. No one can
properly discharge parental duty
without divine aid. Hut that aid can
he hadjfcr the asking. That the na
tion may be law-abiding and moral;
that our children’s . future my be
most firmly assured; that it may be
made most sure that they will yield
themselves in loving obedience to the
rightful claims ot the Heavenly
Father, let us see to it that, in de
pendence upon divine grace, and put
ting into practice the principles of
